We had quite the adventure at the Horan Natural Area, located at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia Rivers. The paths are gravel and dirt - accessible by most strollers/joggers, so we figured it would be an easy day...

Read an article by the Wenatchee World about the Subaru Kid's Club trip to the Horan Natural Area.

For our third Subaru Kid's Club hike, we explored the beautiful Ohme Gardens. Both children and adults were able to see and learn more about native plants, enjoy great views of the valley and burn off some energy in a gorgeous, SHADY environment.

See story, pictures, and directions of the Subaru Kid's Club adventure at Ohme Gardens.

About 45 minutes from town, the Subaru Kid's Club explored Silver Falls, one of the Wenatchee area's most popular family outings. We saw waterfalls, cool structures such as stone steps, log fences and interesting bridges, and we enjoyed nice
views and shade.

The Subaru Kid's Club had a great time exploring the Rocky Reach Dam Visitor Center. We looked at fish, took a self tour of the Museum of the Columbia River and had fun playing in the
gardens and playground.

The Subaru Kid's Club planned to have its final hike of the season be at Leavenworth's Waterfront Park and
Blackbird Island, which is about 45 minutes from Wenatchee. The flat trails wind along the Wenatchee River and
include interpretive signs, inlets, benches and bridges. It's a popular
spot for bird watching and the paths are stroller and jogger accessible.

Unfortunately, due to the poor air quality in the valley caused by local fires, we had to cancel event. We felt it would be irresponsible to hold the outing - especially for the kiddos.

Directions on how to get to Blackbird Island in Leavenworth:
Go west on Hwy 2 from the Leavenworth ranger station. Turn left at 9th
street (traffic light). Turn left at the end of 9th street. Park at the
end of the unpaved road.http://www.icicleinn.com/activities/waterfrontpark.htm

The Cascade Subaru Kids Club had a fun adventure at the Dry Gulch Preserve, successfully getting out the post-holiday wiggles out and burning off some Thanksgiving turkey!

The Dry Gulch Preserve is a great hiking area for the little ones (and adults hauling little ones on their back/front). See pictures of the Subaru Kid's Club adventure to Dry Gulch Preserve and directions how to get there on our Facebook page. Get Out and Make Memories!
